Hi everyone, we just finished building our pool and I noticed that on our new AquaCal Heater/Chiller on Cooling Mode it puts out hot water and cold air from the fan, identical to Heating Mode. I've gone through the settings on the unit and didn't find anything obvious and haven't been able to really find anyone with a similar problem online. I am not getting any fault codes on the unit and after the compressor kicks in on cooling mode, the blue light comes on that says it is cooling. Any guesses as to what the issue could be? Only things I can think of are low refrigerant (should've come pre-charged and no fault code so idk) or a bad controller. Still waiting on the pool builder to come and take a look at it...

Have you called Aquacal Support?
 
Not much you can do on a HP if the control settings are correct without the test equipment.
